My studio moved to a new location. I am located in Montrose PA. Sometimes it can be scary picking up everything and following your instincts. That is exactly what I did. I had tired of Vermont and its many problems. I saw no future if I stayed. I decided to head to Pennsylvania.
I was in search of a smaller home, one that you didn’t need a second mortgage just to heat it. I found it. This home is perfect for me. I have a cellar, a medium-sized main floor for living, and a large second floor for the studio. The outside gave me a blank slate for some gardens. Need gardens to paint, right? And it sits on a hill overlooking the countryside.
Do I take the chance and buy the home? I needed to move fast with an offer and relied on others to give me information. Out of the blue, my Vermont house sold. I believe if you listen hard enough and long enough you find the right answers to your questions. I did. This home is perfect with all of the imperfections I found a home.
Still unpacking. Gradually finding things I am getting the studio and house in shape. Soon there will be paintings being added to the shop along with some newly painted gifts and painted furniture.
As I drove here from Vermont I came across a car in front of me with the license plate LLR, and I chuckled. They were my mother’s initials. Nice to know they still watch out over us even if they are not with us anymore.
